In these short illustrated guides, Dr Mark Everard, avid nature-watcher,
angler and scientist, takes a dedicated look at three British freshwater
fishes, the Silver Bream, Gudgeon and Ruffe. Though an integral part of
aquatic ecosystems and well-known to anglers, these fish are often
overlooked by the wider public as well as scientists. Each book is in
three sections, first exploring the biology of the fish itself,
including science written in accessible style, second discussing angling
history and tips, and thirdly exploring the fish's cultural connections,
including etymology of the fish. A bibliography at the end of each guide
directs the reader to additional resources.
